Jason Manford was on QI tonight and Celebrity Juice the other night as a regular panellist. No idea why on earth anyone would want him on their show as he clearly cannot stand having to share the limelight with people who are frequently funnier than he. His irritation is obvious. Deeply unfunny and charmless bloke IMO.
I really couldn't see that at all, could it be that you just don't like Mr Manford?
Decent effort this week I thought. Sarah Millican was quite quiet, Rev Coles had some good anecdotes, David Mitchell was his usual good self but Alan spoiled it with his immitation of the gallery swearing in Stephen's earpiece at the end.
Thought the first word section went on a wee bit too long, but in parts it was quite interesting which is what it should be about. Will watch the extended version for sure.
A better episode as Mitchell and Coles' interests doesn't end at knob jokes and unnecessary swearing. They actually seem interested at learning things and displaying interesting facts that they know.
Just wondering if its the fact that I am watching it on iplayer but it appears to have been filmed in "filmic"
Can anyone clarify if this is the case ... I do hope not:(
yeah sorry:o there are other terms but I couldn't remember them
Its filming with a different frame rate to give the look of a film finish.
I.e the difference between watching a documentary and a film:)
It was an ok show. The Rev was good but there was almost too much of him. That's not a criticism of him rather more of the other guests who did add as much as they should of imo.
What's happened to the General Ignorance round? It hardly seems to be used these days.
And what's all this dubious theory busness - goto www.xxxx.com for more info. I checked it out and they have bought the domain names.
Just a little BBC waste of money gripe.
It seems the QI XL on Christmas day is actually a repeat of last years Christmas special, according to the schedules anyway. The QI XL for this years Christmas special is not on until a week on Saturday (29th). Bizzare scheduling indeed from the BBC to give a repeat a better slot.

she did maximise her air time!

Sarah Millican was quite quiet - but I was glad of this. Although I've found her funny in other things, I dont think QI is a great fit.
David Mitchell - great as usual. Nice mix of humor and intelligence.
Rev Richard Coles - FANTASTIC, I hope they have him back, if only for the fact that he seems to make Stephen Fry genuinely laugh.
Sarah Millican looks like a man in drag.
The next XL is not on til a week Tuesday probably because of the christmas schedules.

Anyway that was the first QI I'd seen for a month or so, and despite Sarah Millican I enjoyed it, Rev Richard Coles was good value.
Right, well that's one of the few things on the telly I'll be looking forward to on Christmas Day!

Quite, and they're still only up to 'J'! Perhaps they expect to have been axed before they reach 'P'.
